This compares with reported

represents a 155 per cent in-

second highest monthly sales
mark set by Chevrolet dealers
so far this year. Only June
exceeded it, and probabilities
are, according to Mr. Kling-

stand out as peak months of
the Chevrolet year, whereas in

the month showing an unusual

Profits! Industry has been
going along for three and one-
half years practically without
them. This month there has
been a turn. Companies which
have been running constantly
in the red are furnishing a mar-
ket for black ink. Investors
who have become used to going
without dividends are looking
forward to the reappearance
of quarterly or semi-annual
checks.
Here is how improved busi
ness is reflected in the balance
sheets of some specific large
companies:
Chrysler Corporation - In the
June quarter, net equaled SI.
80 a share, totaling $2,310,000.
This is within 23 per cent
of the company’s record,
achieved in the booming third
quarter of 1928.
U. S. Steel - Twelve months
ago it reported an operating
loss of more than $3,000,000.
In the last three months it had
a profit of $4,880,000.
General Motors-Last year it
had second-quarter profits of
7c a share; this year It report-
ed a net of 90c per share.
U. S. Industrial Alcohol-Pro-
fits in first half of 1932 came
to $32,000; same period in 19-
33, $229,000.
All businesses haven’t had an
equally happy quarter or half-
year. But the general trend of
profits is definitely upward.
Most important of all is
sharp improvement in the earn-
ings of small businesses whose
fortunes don’t constitute head-
line news. They represent the
bulk of American capital in-
vestment, and their position is
a great deal more solid than it
was even a month or two ago-
One tenth of the cotton crop
of Texas, practically 50,000
bales was made into 45,962,000
yards oi cloth in 1931. A total
of 450,049,000 spindle hours
was used in making the cloth.

the memory of her face as It lighted,
up at sight of him.
When the people In th* rooming
house heard that Sally’a friend had
arrived they helped him find the tblngw
he needed. They directed him whers-
to get food and where to buy fuol for-:
the empty grate. Almost Immediately*:
the girl began to show Improvement,
Jim spent his few dollars with Joy,
then suddenly found his pockets ssatet*
ly empty and the search for work bw-i
gan. Day after day he allowed him-
self only two meals a day, then only
one meal until finally, he did not dare
permit himself even a cup of coffee,.
If he didn’t get this Job—
The doors In front of him opened
noiselessly. A well-dressed man stood:
at the entrance.
“Sorry, boys, but we hired a man.
yesterday afternoon."
The crowd turned away growling
down the unfamiliar street At a big
store window Jim was attracted by a.
display of homespuns. “These are
woven back in the hills by the moun-
tain folk," a card Informed him. It-
would be warm Inside, and he felt
that he could not endure the cold an:
other minute, so he turned in the-
door.
“Can I wait on you?" a man’s voice-
inquired.
“I was just lookin’ at the home-
spun you got In the window. Mommy
used to make me weave that stuff
when I was a youngun."
“Can you still do It?”
Jim nodded listlessly.
“Ws’vs got ft loom and spinning
wheel and ws’r* thinking of putting
on a window display for ■ week.
Could you find a mountain girl to
spin!"
Something like an electric current
swept through Jim as he graeped tbs,
import ef the other’s words.
“Sure could,” he answered eagerly.
"All right Tomorrow's Saturday.
You come on down end get the loom
•et up and we’ll start the display on.
Monday."
So the Sunday papers carried an ad-
vertisement to the effect that Sally.
Lane and Jim Allen ef Bear Wallow*
would give a demonstration of weav-
ing and spinning at Whittington's all’
the following week.
By the time the store opened Mon-
day morning people were already
crowded around the big window, to-
watch the mountain girl and man at
work. Every hour they came out of
the show window and talked to the-
customers In the store.
"They’re the quaintest things I ever
saw and you ought to hear them talk!”
said one customer Vo another. "Mr.
Whittington says he's going to keep
Sally to sell the goods because she
can explain how It's made and every-
thing, nnd Jim’s going to do some
kind of work around the store. Sally
told me all about It. She’s the hap-
piest little thing—and so pretty—looks
just like a wild flower!"
Jim laughed that night for the first-
time in weeks as he held Sally close-
in his arms.
"My weavin’ come In handy, didn’t
it?’’ he said. “And remember how
Mommy used to have to beat me to,
make ms do it!”
